Interesting facts

The Mating Game is a 1959 American comedy film directed by George Marshall and starring Debbie Reynolds, Tony Randall and, in his final film role, Paul Douglas. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Reynolds sings the title song during the opening credits. The film was written by William Roberts and very loosely based on the 1958 British novel, The Darling Buds of May by H. E. Bates, which was later adapted into a more faithful 1991–1993 British TV series, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones in the role that Reynolds plays in the film.
